Dean Gaffney reportedly got into a fight with Janice Dickinson’s husband over a meal after I’m A Celeb’s show after he tried to kiss her.
Robert ‘Rocky’ Gerner and Dean reportedly yelled, cursed, shoved and shoved each other before dinner at Phelwana Game Lodge in front of the ITV crew and celebrities.
The fight was reportedly broken up by Joe Swash, former EastEnders star and friend of Dean, according to Gillian McKeith, who told the incident to the Sun on Sunday.
She said, “I was sitting there with my daughter Skylar and two-year-old grandson Landon and I became aware of a little argument. I looked up and Dean and Robert were there.
“I saw Janice’s husband Robert hold Dean’s arms – he held his forearms tight, pushed him back and there was a push and pull going on.

She continued, “Then Dean released his arms and said, ‘Get off me,’ and tried to free his arms from his grip before cursing and yelling to get away from him.”
The nutritionist revealed that Dean, who is joining the camp this week, was very upset by the scuffle and when he walked away people quickly realized the commotion and the atmosphere became tense.
She admitted she was shocked by the incident and couldn’t believe what she had seen.
However, later during the meal, Robert was told that the argument had been a misunderstanding.
He told her he was afraid people would contaminate open wounds on Janice’s face if they kissed her.
The celebrity had the injuries on her face after falling for the pre-recorded show while filming.
While Gillian described the altercation as shoving and shoving, another insider has revealed that the fight allegedly involved “beatings” and swearing.
The insider added that while things seemed to be cooling down, Dean spoke to Robert later during the meal and asked him to stay away.
Robert and Janice, who was reportedly “out” after her fall, reportedly ate their meal and left immediately afterwards.
MailOnline reached out to a representative for Dean and Janice for comment.

Janice’s accident reportedly happened towards the end of filming and saw her fall over a cable in the camp in the dark and land on the ground.
A source told The sun on Sunday that the incident happened because the star was looking for the toilet, but lost her way and ended up tumbling.
After the nasty trip, in which the blood gushed from her head, she suffered a concussion, a black eye, bruises on the cheeks, a split lip and broken hands.
The source added, “It was terrifying. Everyone woke up to a sickening thud.
“Some of the camp mates ran to the noise and found Janice face down. She appeared to be lying on the floor half unconscious.
“Blood gushed from her head and she was covered in dirt and dust.”
